I think a lot of artwork gets sold on cruises. That said I’d be more inclined to think this piece was on board a ship advertising this exhibition....
Sweet piece! Almost looks gold, make sure it’s not! I don’t know about NZ but AUS has a lot of gold. That would be a fun combo of native minerals....
150 years is really old when it comes to African antiques that are randomly floating around in the world. Once you get into the 19th century...
Sweet cabinet! I’m big sucker for any type of cabinet with lots of compartments.
Very interesting!!! Shame they don’t mention 37. That’d be too easy. More good evidence for Germany though.
Thanks for looking into the marks! I saw some hammer marks too but not mine. Since you’re searching a book and not just poking around randomly...
Thanks Aqua! That’s what I saw too. I just see it clearly now that you’ve removed the rain! [MEDIA]
Could be yeh. Who knows what those folks got up to. You could stick this mouse anywhere soft enough to receive it.
Picked up cheaply last weekend. Think they may have some age to em. Any thoughts on production era? The one on the left is well marked but I...
Turns out sterling ones were pretty popular. I didn’t look close at dates but probably late 19th and early 20th range. Obviously for the upper...
Yeh that’s kind of where I was thinking for range if it’s not identified. I figured American but could be anywhere. I thought it kind ok looked...
Came in lot of silver jewelry I bought. I’m unconvinced it is silver, unless it’s pretty low grade. Kind of gives me an arts & crafts era vibe....
I recall it being a high purity relative to sterling so must have been .960 and not .980. I wonder if there were different proprietary names...
Anyone have an idea of who might have made this? It’s so whimsical and fun that I don’t want to price it based on other examples and find out down...
That’s pretty big! Someone would like them but unless they are older than late 19th that price would be hard to profit at. That foot would hold...
I always think of cherubs as round faced boys so it’s good to know that isn’t always the case! I also don’t believe they are older but I couldn’t...
I swear there was a different purity with a proprietary name used in England in the 20th century. I am pretty sure it was .980 too. I know because...
I actually thought it looked 3D printed when I saw it and thought plastic. The carving almost looks too perfect in places. At the same time though...
Didn’t England have a 980 silver alloy with a proprietary name they used a bit? I can’t think of it off the top of my head. Maybe I have the...
They’ve got a real interesting look and I like them. I don’t like that the finish/patina is so different in them though. Pairs are more desirable...
Separate names with a comma.
